They called him an illegitimate president. They said he was a threat to democracy and had to be stopped. They unleashed a legion of agents to investigate him, searched his home and broke historic barriers by indicting him. Then they rigged a trial in a bid to put him in prison. They called him un-American and worse. Their lawyers and activists fought to keep him off the fall ballots in a dozen blue states as a way — get this — to defend democracy. They are still trying to bankrupt him and confiscate his businesses. And now they have shot...

The nation escaped an unspeakable tragedy that would have been profoundly destabilizing for the country by perhaps a few centimeters. As it is, what happened in Butler, Pa., is godawful enough. A gunman tried to assassinate former president Donald Trump and grazed his ear with a bullet, while killing one rally-goer and seriously injuring others. This was a heinous act of violence and an attack on American democracy. Trump’s reaction was truly extraordinary and will long be remembered. After Secret Service officers threw themselves on the former president and then picked him up to begin to take him to safety,...

Our first reading is from the prophet Amos 7:12-15: Amaziah, priest of Bethel, said to Amos, “Off with you, visionary, flee to the land of Judah!

July 13, 2024 | Sundance | 688 Comments I’m not going to narrate what you can witness with your own eyes and ears. The camera lens is pointed toward two U.S Secret Service protective detail snipers on the roof behind President Trump. One is the spotter. Turn on sound.
